NEW Blank Stick ‘n Burn Design Transfer Sheets!
Print any design using either an Ink Jet or Laser Printer
Pack of 10 sheets, Just $11.95!
New and improved Blank Stick ‘n Burn sheets for Ink Jet Printer!
Unlike the previous version of INK JET printer Stick ‘n Burn, which was somewhat thick, this NEW version is thin enough to easily flatten onto the rounded surface of your gourd [see video below]. Yet it is still thick enough so the film does not melt away when you go to woodburn.
Watch the short video above to see the NEW Stick ‘n Burn sheets! [pattern is from the Digital Designs pack, “Vines and Wraps”
Our NEW and improved Stick 'n Burn Design Transfer Sheets have the same great qualities you know and love, including being made with a see-through film for easy design placement and being easy to lift off and reposition on your gourd without tearing or leaving a sticky residue.*
Pattern Placement
Wood Burned Design
Color Added to Design
Color Completed and Varnished
Pictured above, Gourd art process by artist, Tammy Harr-Schmidt. Thank you, Tammy for taking these photos and sharing them with us on Facebook!
Now you can use the same Stick ‘n Burn sheets in both Laser printers and Ink Jet printers!
*Stick ‘n Burn leaves no sticky residue when peeling off to reposition your design, however, once high heat is used (as when woodburning through it), the heat may cause a small amount of adhesive to stick to the gourd. For this reason we recommend wiping your gourd with Formula 49 AFTER you have woodburned and removed the excess Stick ‘n Burn from your gourd.
Print your design of choice on it, then peel off backing, stick design to your gourd, and woodburned right through it. (pattern above is from the Digital Designs pack, “Vines and Wraps.”)
Watch the video above for step-by-step instructions for creating a gourd pot with the “Vines and Wraps” Stick ‘n Burn design!
Why waste hours tracing lines and struggling with messy carbon paper to get your design onto your gourd for woodburning when you can do it in one easy step?
With “Stick 'n Burn” Design Transfer Sheets your design is printed directly on the clear transfer sheet and because it has an adhesive backing, all you have to do is cut it out, stick it to your gourd and start woodburning!

LED Bulbs for Gourd Lamps
3 pack for Just $14.95!
These LED bulbs are very small yet produce an extremely bright light. (We like them small because we found the larger ones sit too high and do not light up the bottom of the art, plus they can “stick out” on the top).
We love them not only for the amount of light they produce but also because they have a very low heat output so they won't cause any kind of fire danger. Designed to fit our Gourd Lamp Hardware Kit or any lamp socket that fits a Candelabra (E12) bulb.
See the image above for an example of how the light bulbs can be used with our Gourd Hardware Kits and Open Top Gourd Lamp Kits!

I have painted six of them and hope to paint more before Christmas. Welburn is my go to for my gourd supplies. Thank you." -Pam Price Reffitt

"I just want to thank everyone down at the Welburn Farm for all your hard work... with the growing, the turning, the harvesting, the cleaning, the packing of orders, the customer service... and so on! Creating gourd art has changed my life and enhanced it in so many ways. Thank you for the work you do, so that artists can have such a wonderful “canvas” to work with! I’ve been a loyal customer since around 2000 and will continue to be. (PS. I love the ornaments!) Happy Holidays to you all!" -Diann
